WE often focus on needing to eat better and exercise more when we are trying to give our health a boost.
But it is important to look after our social wellbeing, too.
Loneliness can be crippling – the impact on your health is equivalent to puffing on 15 cigarettes a day.
Luckily, summer is a great time to get out and about and expand your social circle.
Why not invite your neighbours over for a barbecue, join an outdoor swimming or hiking club or sign up for parkrun to meet like-minded people?
